IRONMAN Arizona, which was scheduled for November 22 has been cancelled due to an escalation of Covid-19 cases in the Tempe, Arizona, area. The event will now return on November 21, 2021
Confirming the cancellation of this year’s event (frustratingly after IRONMAN 70.3 Arizona was able to go ahead in October), IRONMAN issued the following statement…
In meetings leading up to the event, and following a successful IRONMAN 70.3 Arizona triathlon in October, the regional safety and health authorities were satisfied that IRONMAN’s proposed health and safety measures were well designed, and that athletes, staff and the wider public would have been sufficiently protected from potential COVID-19 transmission.
However, after further conversations today with city and health officials following a recent increase in cases across the Tempe region, we regret to share that the IRONMAN Arizona triathlon event scheduled for Nov. 22 cannot take place in 2020 and will now return on Nov. 21, 2021.
All registered athletes of the 2020 IRONMAN Arizona triathlon will be receiving an email with further details.
While we are prevented from holding the event in 2020, we thank our athletes for their commitment and look forward to providing them with an exceptional race experience in the future.
